STS-4 |
S82-33421 (4 July 1982) --- This spectacular view of the NASA 905 Shuttle
Carrier Aircraft ferrying the Space Shuttle Challenger was recorded from a
T-38 as the aircraft were heading for Houston, Texas and a combination "meet
the Challenger and greet the STS-4 crew" ceremony at Ellington Air Force
Base. The STS-4 Astronauts-Thomas K. Mattingly, II, and Henry W. Hartsfield,
Jr., were minutes ahead of the tandem in another aircraft. Earlier that day
they completed a successful week-long stay in space aboard the Columbia. Upon
their landing at Edwards Air Force Base, a historical "first" occurred
for NASA and this nation. Three Shuttles (Enterprise, Challenger and Columbia)
were together at one time in the same location. The hardware served as a backdrop
for a speech by President Ronald Reagan leading the nation in a special July
4 celebration. Following the stopover in Houston, the Challenger moved on
to Florida for processing in preparation for future space flights.
